S3 brakes are good enought for 265 bhp. I have my car 3 weeks right now but I've maneged to do 2300km. I've made few test like rally driveing on fast and windy roads, and the first thing is that the brakes don't over heat much. Sometimes when I'm breaking from 200+km/h to a sharp turn at the end of braking I can feel that the brakes are starting to overheat. Next year I'll do remep and turbo back exhaust, then I'll propably swich for better aftermarket pads and it should do the work. Has anybody tested EBC red stuff pads on S3?
